According to On3, the highly-touted cornerback ranks as the No. 35 player at the position and the No. 7 player in his state.

Hart held a live commitment on Thursday at North Cross High, joined by his family and some of his teammates.

Wolverines' fans had a short-lived glimpse of a key recruiting win before Hart's interesting move marked the victory for Penn State and head coach James Franklin.

'I was there the day before the spring game and I knew my mind was made up then," Hart said. "It felt right and I knew there was no reason to hold it in. Penn State did everything correctly with me and the place and the people fit me.' Penn State's 2026 class is shaping up to be one of the best in the country. The group includes 17 commits with eight four-star recruits, ranking 11th nationally and fourth in the Big Ten.

(Note: All recruiting rankings are according to the 247Sports Composite and are in the 2026 class unless otherwise noted.) Cornerback Jaziel Hart While Hart had already trimmed his list down to six schools, Notre Dame not included, he will still make a visit to South Bend this spring. There will be more visits for the 5-foot, 11-inch and 170-pound defender who is currently unranked. Running back Javian Osborne An official visit to Notre Dame has been scheduled starting on March 18th, as the nation's No. 83 overall prospect figures out where he wants to attend college. This would be a huge recruiting win for the Irish, but they'll have to wow him on his trip as it looks like Michigan and Miami have a leg up on the competition. Multiple prospects announce their official visits There were multiple players who decided to make the announcement over the weekend that they will visit South Bend. Safety Nick Reddish (No. 593), edge rusher Ebenezer Ewetade (No. 152), tight end JC Anderson (No. 145), wide receiver Brayden Robinson (No. 324), cornerback Caden Harris (No. 158), running back Jonaz Walton (No. 118) and offensive tackle Ekene Ogboko (No. 59). It's a big time group of prospects that the Irish will have the opportunity to show what Notre Dame is all about. Linebacker Landon Sams The unranked Ohio prospect will take an unofficial visit to see Notre Dame this spring, in hopes of earning an offer. He's a bit on the smaller side for a linebacker, at 6-foot and 225-pounds, but that doesn't matter if he can make the plays. You have to think that if the Irish do offer, they'll jump to the top of his list. Quarterback Donald Tabron II This is one recruitment that will be a lengthy one, as Tabron is in the 2028 class. He already holds multiple offers, but one is not from Notre Dame. This visit could be the start of potentially getting one, as the Irish would like to see him throw and if he is as big as his listed 6-foot, 3-inch and 180-pound frame is.
